Authorities say the shooting incident in Denmark, where a gunman opened fire at a busy shopping mall in Copenhagen, leaving three people dead and at least three others injured was not terror-related.
The gunman likely acted alone and fired indiscriminately at random shoppers, Danish Police said Monday, the day after the shooting.
